‘Civil Accounts Day’, 2016 to mark the 40th
Anniversary of the inception of the Indian Civil Accounts Service was observed
on 1st March 2016 in Plenary Hall, Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi from
12.30 pm onwards in two sessions.

Subject: -
Filling up of vacant of posts of AAOs by granting promotion to the eligible
candidates declared as passed in the AAO (Civil) Examination 2014 and on
seniority basis.

Sir,

I have been directed to draw your
kind attention to the fact that, several posts in the grade of AAO are lying
vacant in different parts of the country. Due to this, the works in the
organization are suffering very badly. It is more than a year, majority of the
existing AAOs are bearing the burden of attending additional work load of other
AAOs and most of the Senior Accountants are performing the duties of AAOs due to
non-availability of AAOs so that the payment and Accounting functions of the
Government of India continue smoothly.

In addition to the above situation,
many AAOs are awaiting transfer to their choice stations on completion of their
tenure and their families are suffering in different manners.

But on the other hand, the
candidates who had qualified the AAO (Civil) examination 2014 have been
awaiting their posting orders as AAOs for last one year and no promotion under
10% seniority promotion quota was granted to any Senior Accountant to the post
of AAO in the year 2015. Moreover, inspite of existence of an order of your
office, all senior most Senior Accountants of the organization are retiring
from service without even getting the benefit of adhoc promotion as AAOs.

In the discussion held with your good self on 11th December
2015, you had kindly informed me that, work is in progress to resolve the problem
and soon a decision shall be taken to grant promotion to all eligible
candidates as AAOs. But even after three months no decision has been taken.

Further,
our Branches from different parts of the country have brought the following
facts to our knowledge recently-

2.In response
to a D.O. Letter dated 26.10.2015 of the office of Controller General of
Accounts, the Finance (Accounts) Department of Government National Capital
Territory of Delhi invited applications from the employees of Delhi Government
for posting as AAOs on deputation basis in the Civil Accounts organization.

Sir, above
situations has generated wide resentment among the membership of this
Association spread throughout the country. The members are astonished to find
that the authorities have decided to bring persons form other departments as
AAOs on deputation basis overlooking the availability of qualified and eligible
candidates in the Civil Accounts organization itself.

Therefore, I
on behalf of the Association seek your kind and personal intervention in to the
matter and request you to kindly protect the interests of the Civil Accounts
employees by taking following favourable actions -

1.Issue orders for posting of all candidates qualified
AAO (Civil) examination, 2014 before 31st March 2016.

2.Grant promotions to the Senior Accountants as AAOs
who are eligible for promotion under 10% promotion quota.

3.Issue orders for transfer of the AAOs completed
their tenure posting period and awaiting posting to their choice stations.

4.Cancel the decision of your office to bring persons
from other departments/ organizations as AAOs on deputation basis and grant
adhoc promotions to the eligible persons of Civil Accounts organization itself
in case vacancies exist after issuing orders for promotion to the persons
discussed in Sl. No. 1 and 2 above.

This Association shall be highly thankful to you for your kind and early
favourable actions.

With
reference to the above mentioned subject, I am to state that, since no AAO
(Civil) examination was conducted by the CGA authorities after October 2014, the
existing and future candidates have become totally disappointed and they are
suffering from various apprehensions.

In this connection, I would like to refer the discussion
held with your good self on 11th December 2015 in your chamber wherein you were kind enough
to inform me that the continuity of the AAO (Civil) Examination would be
maintained and soon a decision shall be taken by the authorities to conduct the
examination for the year 2015. But no decision to conduct AAO (Civil)
Examination for year 2015 has so far been learnt to be taken by your office.

Moreover, the examination for 2016 has
become due and as per schedule, the examination is to be held in the month of
October-November 2016.

Therefore, the AAO (Civil) Examination being the only
available corridor for the career advancement to the Group-C Civil Accounts
Employees, I request you to kindly appreciate the plight of the employees and
take an early decision to conduct the examinations.

Thanking you,

Yours Sincerely,

(V.Bhattacharjee)

National Council/JCM

Subject:- 7th CPC recommendations and
Charter of Demands – Reg.

Dear Sir

Kindly refer
to the NJCA letter dated 10th December 2015 conveying you the
decision of the National Joint Council of Action to go on indefinite strike
in pursuance of the Charter of demands
submitted there-with, if no settlement through bilateral discussions is brought
about.

I am also to
invite your kind attention to the discussion the Empowered Committee of
Secretaries chaired by you with Standing Committee of NC of JCM on 1st
March 2016 where-in while summing up the discussions on the charter of demands
you assured that a fair consideration would be given on all demands raised by
the Staff Side. It was also stated by you that reasonable time should be given
to the Government since the issues concern inter=departmental consultations.

The NJCA in
its meeting held on 7th March 2016 considered the request made by
you. To give space for negotiated settlement on the charter of demands raised
by the Staff Side it has been decided to defer the commencement of the
indefinite strike to 11th July 2016 and to serve
the strike notice on 9th June 2016, if the desired settlement
through bilateral discussions is not brought about.

It is
requested that in the intervening period the Government may hold meaningful
negotiation with the Staff Side, JCM so that a settlement could be reached on
the Charter of demands raised by the staff side, in the interest of industrial
harmony.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

All Constituents of
NJCA

Dear Comrade,

The NJCA met today and reviewed the discussion in the
meeting of Empowered Committee of Secretaries presided by the Cabinet Secretary
on 1st March 2016 where-in the Cabinet Secretary had requested for
more time to arrive at conclusions on the charter of demands raised by the
Staff Side.

The meeting also considered the situation in the aftermath
of the coming into effect of the Code of Conduct with the declaration of
election schedule in 5 State Assemblies and the fact that there will be polling
on 11th April 2016 in West Bengal and Assam.

The meeting, therefore, came to the conclusion that it will
not be feasible for us to stick to the date of strike as 11th April
2016. Considering the fact that as per section 22 of the Industrial Dispute
Act, 1947 with regard to the validity of the strike notice which is not more
than six weeks from the date of serving the strike notice, it was also felt
that we may have to revisit the issue of serving the notice for strike afresh.

Considering all the above aspects, the meeting took the
following decisions”

1.The indefinite strike shall commence
from 6 am on 11th July 2016

2.The strike Notice would be served on 9th
June 2016.

3.Massive demonstrations shall be held in
all work place on 11th March 2016 in support of the charter of
demands and strike decision.

4.The decision of the NJCA would be
communicated to the Cabinet Secretary.

the decisions taken in the National
convention of Accounts and Audit Employees and Officers organizations
held on 10th January 2016 and to take further steps, an informal
meeting the available representatives of
